affiliatemcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

affiliatemcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from bobberrisford/affiliatemcp. It costs 5,650 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for affiliate-mcp, a local MCP server that connects AI clients to affiliate networks. Affiliate networks manage links, referrals and commission tracking between advertisers and publishers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on affiliate-mcp, especially when changing network adapters, credentials, telemetry or hosted-service plans.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project’s scope, privacy rules, supported adapters and development boundaries before they change code.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is bobberrisford/affiliatemcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on affiliatemcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything affiliatemcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

affiliatemcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this project is

affiliate-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server with 86 publisher-side and advertiser-side adapters across 72 affiliate-network families. It serves MCP-capable clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex. The user brings their own API credentials; the server runs locally, and the local product is free and complete. A hosted tier is planned, pre-launch, governed by the accepted custody record docs/decisions/2026-07-12-hosted-credential-custody.md; do not build hosted surfaces beyond what that record and the technical roadmap authorise. Optional telemetry is opt-in, off by default, and aggregate-only; it conforms to PRIVACY.md and the decision record docs/decisions/2026-06-13-privacy-first-telemetry.md. UK English throughout, including the canonical noun "programme".

The project is in public beta. The full state of each network's adapter — what ships, what is stubbed, what is known to misbehave — is in REPORT.md.

Product north star

Affiliate data should be available where affiliate work happens. This repo turns public affiliate network APIs into local-first MCP tools, skills, prompts, and workflows so affiliate professionals can use their own data from the AI workspace they already use.

The product is workflow-oriented. A user should be able to investigate performance, find partners, prepare a QBR, check unpaid commissions, draft outreach, audit links, or diagnose anomalies without bouncing between network dashboards, CSV exports, spreadsheets, docs, and email.

Target cohorts

Keep these audiences in mind when writing docs, tools, setup flows, and PR notes:

  • Advertisers, brands, and agencies who manage programmes, optimise partners, prepare client updates, and use Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools.
  • Publishers who track earnings, pending commissions, unpaid transactions, link health, programme performance, and cross-network reporting.
  • Semi-technical operators who can follow guided setup, GitHub instructions, terminals, Claude Code, Codex, Cowork, or Cursor, but should not need to read the internals.
  • Developers and data teams building internal tools, reporting workflows, reconciliation jobs, or agent-native affiliate operations.
  • Affiliate network employees who may adopt, correct, own, or improve their own adapter.
  • AI coding agents that need explicit boundaries so changes stay focused, safe, and reviewable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
